Chapter 41

After the Takai family left, Lingming Temple returned to silence.

Only the incense burner before the Buddha remained, and there was still smoke.

Today is the weekend, and even the workers who build the residence are on vacation. There are only one old, one young and two monks left in this remote little temple.

Shiraishi has long been used to these and does not feel lonely.

Back to the futon in front of the Buddha, sitting cross-legged, said to the old abbot.

"Abbot, I'll give you 30 million. You can contact the engineering team and build a library!"

"good."

The old abbot smiled and nodded.

Faced with 30 million yen, there was no fluctuation in my heart.

This is the real concentration!

Bai Shixiu admires endlessly. The old abbot, who is not afraid of the ancient waves of money, is the real monk and the goal he wants to work on ...

Well, Shiraishi never saw the old absent-minded look.

At best, when I heard what I did, my mood fluctuated a little.

this is normal.

After all, he is the heir of the Lingming Temple, and the old abbot cares for himself, and it should be.

correct!

Today is Shiraishi's first demon removal.

To share with the old abbot.

Shiraishi groaned and said.

"Abbot, why do people become demons?"

The action of the old abbot playing on the phone was a sudden meal.

After a long while, looked up.

With some complexities that Shiraishi had never seen in his eyes.

"Zhengzheng, why did you think about asking this question?"

"Today, when I was removing spirits from the Ikeda donor, I was not facing the ghosts who turned into ghosts after death." Shiraishi said calmly.

"But a living ... shemale?"

Huh? Why did it suddenly smell?

Pigs become monsters, and cats become monsters.

People become monsters ...

Shemale is right!

It's all modern people who have made too many moths, so that some words that are normally normal have a different taste.

The old abbot did not mind this.

It seems that the mood of vomiting is gone.

There was a little surprise in his eyes.

"You removed the monsters that were transformed into humans today?"

"Yes, that's a lady.

"Because the experience was too miserable and accumulated too much resentment and hatred, the degeneration became a monster, which is in line with the descriptions of classics and legends that people have turned into monsters.

"However, after reading the classics, I still cannot understand.

"Demons and humans are obviously two very different creatures, and their life forms have changed greatly. How can it be just because of mood?

"Among them, there must be a special reaction I didn't know ..."

Shiraishi pours out the doubts in his heart.

A pair of curiosity eyes fixed on the old abbot.

I hope the elders can give themselves an answer.

however.

The old abbot gave no answer.

"Heart is right, I can't answer your question.

"The birth of the demon has been considered by many people since ancient times, but no one can find a reasonable explanation ..."

Well, it seems I have to do my own research.

Shiraishi is not too disappointed because it was expected.

The times are advancing.

Questions that cannot be answered by modern people, why should the ancients be asked to give answers?

Better to study hard and improve yourself.

Strive to be the one who gives the answer, and write many unsolved mysteries on Children's Books, "100,000 Whys".

The unsolved mystery turns into basic knowledge.

Let the future keyboard guys ...

You can stand on your shoulders and give pointers!

In addition, there is one thing that Shiraishi is quite mindful of.

"Yes, abbot, when I was exceeding that person ... the monster, a bead fell out of her body.

"Well, it's like a glass bead, crystal clear, filled with black beads.

"Is this the legendary Yaodan?

"But when I overcame the little ghost girl from Kondo Middle School, she also held three beads in her hand ...

"Although the colors are not the same, I can be sure that the two should be similar."

Snapped!

The old abbot's phone dropped on the floor tile.

He looked at Shiraishi Xiu with a look of confusion, shocked.

"Can you say that again?!"

For the first time, the old abbot lost his temper.

Bai Shixiu flashed this thought in his heart, realizing it might be very important.

Restate what I just said ...

However, there is no way to be more detailed.

After all, those beads were instantly broken and purified under the light of the Buddha. Bai Shixiu was shocked to remember it, and it is already unforgettable ...

In such a short moment, it was too late to observe with Tianyantong.

Fortunately, the old abbot does not need a more detailed description.

Silent for a long while.

He stood up, his figure slightly sloppy.

It's the fatigue that Shiraishi has never seen before.

The abbot is old?

Shiraishi is a little surprised.

Although he was thinking about the old abbot.

However, although the abbot's face is usually old, he is in good shape and young.

Younger than Shiraishi, it seems to keep pace with the times.

But now ...

The abbot's heart also seemed old.

After taking two steps, the old abbot bowed his head deeply before the Buddha and saluted.

then......

Under the seat of the Buddha, opened a small dark grid, took out a jade box.

Is there such a place in Lingming Temple?

Shiraishi is a little confused.

He awakened Tianyantong, but it was impossible to use Tianyantong to observe the Buddha's statue through perspective. That would be too disrespectful to me.

Therefore, such a dark grid has never been found.

Holding the jade box taken out from the dark grid, the old abbot returned to the futon and sat down.

Put it in front and open it.

Revealing things in it.

"Heart is right, the bead you see, but it?"

I saw a crystal-clear bead on the velvet cloth in the center of the jade box.

The color of this bead is golden red, and it is not different from several beads that Shiraishi has seen.

Shiraishi felt vaguely.

The old abbot is about to make a big news.

"Yes, abbot."

The old abbot closed the lid of the jade box, his face was calm, his eyes were connected with Shiraishi.

"This is a soul-washing bead, a wicked thing made from human souls.

"Don't you ask me, why do people turn into demons?

"No one has been able to give a standard answer to this question.

"However, there is a person ... to be precise, there is a demon who is closest to this answer.

"It uses human souls to make beads, and then puts them into the bodies of those who have malicious intentions in their hearts. It can imitate legends and transform people into demons."

"Human souls make beads, turn humans into monsters?"

Shiraishi thought of the little girl in the sun.

The three beads in her hands were probably the souls of the three schoolgirls who died in her hands.

Think of Ayumi Spider-Woman.

The bead in her body may also contain the soul of an innocent person.

Fortunately, these souls have been sent away by the palm of their own Buddhism, together they were transcended and headed for the paradise world ...

Amitabha.

So here comes the problem.

Whose soul is the soul-washing pearl in the jade box?

Why does the old abbot keep it in the jade box and keep it under the Buddha statue?

The old abbot does not intend to hide this.

Frankly.

"I'm curious.

"The soul in this soul-washing bead is my father and the previous abbot of Lingming Temple ...

"You have asked me many times, the story behind Lingming Temple ...

"I never promised.

"This history is really not glorious and should be buried in the dust ...

"But since you meet now, I won't hide from you anymore."

Thanks to Tuba Kyushu and Golden Good 100! !!
